2.2 MOVING THE MACHINE
Promax /Promarks chamber style vacuum packaging machines are available in three basic
designs, TC (Table Top), SC (Free Standing Single Chamber), DC (Double Chamber) and
BT(Continuous Chamber). Recommendations for the movement of all three types are listed
below.
TC Machines : Some of the smallest TC units may be lifted off of their wooden skid and moved
manually. However Promax /Promarks recommends that moving even the smallest of their TC
units should not be attempted by one person. The larger TC units should be lifted with the aid of
a fork lift or other approved lifting aid. Prior to lifting with a forklift the forks should be adjusted
to a width that provides the machine with stable support. The proper lifting point for TC machines
is to place the
forks so they come in contact with the units rubber feet located on the bottom of the
machine.
SC Machines : All SC units should be lifted from their wooden skid and moved to the location
where they will be used with an approved fork lift. Be sure to take note of the points listed below.
DC Machines : All DC units should be lifted from their wooden skid and moved to the location
where they will be used with an approved fork lift. Be sure to take note of the points listed below.
BT Machines : All BT units should be lifted from their wooden skid and moved to the location
where they will be used with an approved fork lift. Be sure to take note of the points listed below.
* Make sure the fork lift forks are properly adjusted for width and use fork extensions if needed.
* Make sure to ascertain the center of gravity and use identified lifting points.
